As organizations face increasing complexity in securing identities and managing critical data, Quest continues to expand its leadership in trusted identity and trusted data solutions. Earlier this year the company introduced the Quest Trusted Data Management Platform and the Quest Security Management Platform, and recently expanded its Identity Security portfolio with the acquisition of Anetac. Carter’s addition to the C-suite will help further accelerate customer adoption and global partner momentum.
Carter brings more than 30 years of technology experience, including over 25 years leading high-performing SaaS organizations across cybersecurity, IT resilience, customer experience, infrastructure, and enterprise software. Throughout his career, he has successfully built and scaled sales organizations at both high-growth startups and Fortune 200 companies, consistently driving revenue growth, developing high-performing teams, and executing disciplined go-to-market strategies.
Previously, Carter held senior leadership roles at companies such as Trellix, Deep Instinct, Zimperium, Zerto, and VCE, contributing to each organization’s growth during significant stages of expansion.
Before beginning his technology career, Carter served as a commissioned officer in the United States Air Force, holding roles in both Operations and Finance within the Space and Intelligence sectors. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Management from the United States Air Force Academy and an MBA in Finance from California State University, Long Beach.
